Quilting Notions Set Giveaway and Happy Home book winner

July 4, 2012

Happy Fourth of July to all our American peeps! This week's giveaway is being brought to you from the beautiful Smoky Mountains in Tennesse where Stephen and I are visiting family this week. Despite record-breaking hot temperatures (and no air-conditioning!) we've been keeping cool in an ice-cold river, having daily feasts with family, and watching our kids get reaquainted with myriad cousins. I hope you're all enjoying an equally relaxing and fun week.

For your summertime sewing pleasure, we're giving away a set of quilting notions this week, a package of 50 Clover binding clips, a wood-handled seam ripper, an Olfa 60 mm rotary cutter, and my personal favorite item, a Fiskars 14-inch rotating cutting mat which I didn't even know existed until last week. How handy for squaring up quilt blocks without having to scramble around all sides of your larger cutting mat! If you'd like to win this useful new loot, just leave your comment below or on the corresponding Facebook post, and include your Spoonflower screen name or other means of tracking you down in case you're our winner. Entries close next Tuesday, 7/10 and we'll announce a winner on 7/11. Good luck to you all!

I’d love to win this awesome bunch of sewing notions. I might even get back into sewing again soon if I did. Used to make all of my own clothes and most of my kids’ clothing. Thanks for the chance, even if I don’t win! Kutedymples (my spoonflower name) Susan Peterson (Susan Q LaLonde) facebook ID

Ironically I just broke my seam ripper (don’t ask) :o) What a great giveaway! Love the recent post on FaceBook about printing a recipe on a tea towel! Just adorable! Here on Spoonflower I’m Schmermie and I would LOVE to win!

Happy to follow you through my Facebook account. Saw an article on Spoonflower on my flight back from Australia. A great set of quilting notions for any quilter to have. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

I would also love to try the wonder clips because I’ve struggled with putting on bias tape in the past! I always end up sewing it on unevenly and have to redo it a bunch of times. The rotating mat looks like something fun to try as well, I can see it saving a lot of time. My shop name is marilynpatrizio.
Thanks for posting this!

Who could not use a wooden handled seam ripper? I take out a lot of seams. A Fiskars 14-inch rotating cutting mat would help me make straighter cuts so my seams would fit tighter and I would not have to take out so many seams. For that matter the Clover binding clips would help to hold the fabric so I could cut better with the new Olfa 60 mm rotary cutter. If I won I would be better at this and would grow more confident therefore I would buy more yardage. As I become more proficient I would begin to design fabric and the world would be a better place for my designs. Yes this is a win-win situation. You rock Spoonflower– as my students say you are “de BOMB!” SavTeacher- a Spoonflower follower. (Yes I really want to win this contest!!!)
